Book Excerpt

Carnal Moon

“I’m not afraid of you.” Marcus bore a nasty smile as he approached Nick. “I can hurt you.”

Nick’s crimson eyes narrowed as he pushed Gwen behind him. There was a switchblade in Marcus’s hand, but wasn’t open yet. The worse Marcus could do was stab or slash him. It wouldn’t kill him, but would hurt like hell. Then he’d have an excuse to beat the shit out the asshole, preferably when Gwen wasn’t present.

Gwen attempted to move around Nick, but he blocked her. “I don’t want you two fighting.” Her voice was full of irritation as she peeked over Nick’s arm, holding her phone. “Maybe it’s time to call the police.”

Marcus stepped back as if worried Gwen would carry out the threat. “No, I don’t want them involved.” He stood a few feet away from Nick, well within striking distance. “I’ll leave.”

Without warning, Marcus whipped his arm out as the silver blade from the switchblade flipped out. It sliced through Nick’s shirt and across his abdomen. Nick roared as he stumbled back, burning agony eating his skin. A red stain quickly spread over his front as fury filled him.

Gwen screamed as she threw herself in front of Nick before he could stop her. Only Hugo’s sudden appearance and pulling Marcus back kept her from feeling the bite of the deadly knife. Hugo plucked the switchblade away before any more damage might be done with it.

“The point has been made,” Hugo said, hauling Marcus with him. “Time to leave before the neighbors interfere.”
